Lynette Key was honored by the Assistance League of Los Gatos-Saratoga with the Ada Laughlin Award for 2016 at its Annual Meeting and Board Installation. This award is given to a member who is an “unsung heroine”, one who has worked behind the scenes and on many projects that benefit our chapter and the community at large.
This award honors the legacy of Ada Laughlin, the co-founder of Assistance League, who 100 years ago personified the “unsung heroine” role in developing our non-profit, all-volunteer organization which continues today to make a difference.
Lynette has been co-chair of the Literacy Program for several years. This involves purchasing books for volunteers to read in classrooms, scheduling classrooms and teachers for a wonderful experience that focuses on literacy and overseeing the distribution of books to each student twice a year to share at home with their families. As a member of the Literacy Plus team, she tutors students in grades K-1 in reading and language and also participates in Dictionary Day when a dictionary is given to over 1,000 third graders in the Campbell Union School District.
Lynette has also been active in the Nurse Family Partnership Program which serves young, first-time mothers and their babies. She has constructed baby quilts, collected cribs, blankets and other baby items, plus provided all the data input necessary to support this program.
